Motorola Offers Sneak Peek of Xoom Super Bowl Ad [VIDEO]

A preview of Motorola's Super Bowl ad for its Xoom tablet shows the company is planning to attack Apple by alluding to latter's iconic "1984" ad.

A 15-minute segment of the 60-second commercial shows a young man in a futuristic environment reading George Orwell's 1984 on a Xoom. Though everyone else is clad in white hooded jumpsuits, he is wearing a gray cardigan, a tie and black pants. The man is then shown stepping on a subway and later, heading up an escalator. Once above ground, he uses the Xoom to search a local florist. The final shot is the man, flowers in hand, at the back of a full elevator as a woman with a white hooded outfit and white iPod earbuds is shown in the forefront, looking straight ahead.

The ad comes after Motorola's public relations agency, Weber Shandwick, released a video hyping the Super Bowl ad called "Goodbye, 1984" that stated, "It's time for more choices."
